This style is a design based on an era in the early ’70s of watching my mother create an oversized, teased “do” and then don her latest geometric maxi creation as she and my dad, -he being clad in a lilac body shirt- complete with sideburns, whisked off to a “Sundowner Pool Party” – a trend that was replicating movies – I’m sure I’ve merged it all in my memory …. Jane Fonda in a maxi length, sleeveless A-line shift in geometric flowers with a big floppy hat – but then I realized – I’m not Jane Fonda – she’s much taller ………. OK – along with a few other details! 

There was something glamorous going on, but being too young to grasp or analyse, I was left with an impression of glamour being colour, print and fun times! This was what inspired our new Patcee dress, however, I wasn’t focused on a summer pool party; hence, a ¾ sleeve with flared cuff was a more elegant option. She is the perfect comfortable, stylish shift dress, with a high collar and V-neck placket in an edible green satin in a solid colour, and of course … pockets!

A magical colour with a slightly schizoid quality.

This new sophisticated monochromatic palette will transition from day to night and summer to winter. Is perfect for any occasion from a beach wedding to an everyday favourite that gives you the confidence to take on anything!

No matter which colour you choose to layer underneath this is going to be a sophisticated style.

It will partner beautifully with the colours recently released in our “show-stopper combo” of Fuchsia and fire engine Red as it sits right next to them on the colour wheel – allowing it to literally tone in with no jarring contrasts.

Meanwhile, it will also transform and be an Autumn colour if you pair it with Khaki, which will soften the ochre intensity, or even Navy ( the colour wheel places blue exactly opposite orange).

Just like nature pairs orange and black, it can be a way of increasing the “drama” of your style by using jarring contrasts.

Reinvent your colour wheel, you want to make sure that you are saying something with the colours you choose.

Colour is everything, sets a tone that conveys your mood and lets those around you perceive you in a way you get to influence – and this colour combo of fuchsia pink and fire engine red screams happiness and fun. This showstopper combo looks stylish rather than gaudy as they are the same, same but different.

They sit next to each other on the colour wheel – in fact, red sits in the middle with pink on one side and orange on the other- so orange can happily join this colour combo.

These colours are close enough to each other, that it doesn’t create a jarring effect when placed together, unlike the effect when you wear a red top and black bottoms, which will cut you in half too.
